I have my first OW swim in a week. The race will be 1.76 miles (3,100 yards). I have swum the 3,100 for time twice now. My pace is 1:18 per 100 yards in a 25 yard pool.
How realistic is this pace in OW?
There won't be any flip turns. There's the first time OW swimmer factor. I won't be wearing a wetsuit (which I wasn't in the pool). Ect, ect.
Thoughts? Thanks.

oddly enough I swim faster in OW. Since I don't compete in the pool anymore I let my turns go to crap. I'll swim 1:15 scy for 4k then hit OW and hold about 1:10- 1:13. (conditions dependent) i now find the wall irritating...:) Add a wetsuit and all bets are off.
